About “Die BRÜCKE”

Yayasan Jembatan – Die BRÜCKE was founded in 1979 as a public benefit organization of German speaking women and was registered as a Yayasan.

It was as important then as it is today to create a platform for members where they can make new contacts, work actively in groups, use the common language and increase one’s knowledge of Indonesia. This happens mainly through monthly meetings, weekly activities in small groups as well as the monthly magazine published for members and those seeking information. Also there are diverse events such as our yearly big Christkindl-Markt, a Summer Bazaar and Charity-Concerts.

Die BRÜCKE also supports Indonesians in need, mainly children and women. With monetary donations from sponsors, our work groups, events, and much personal effort we help maintain and support facilities founded and operated by Indonesians.

Our work groups include the following: Social Welfare, Newcomer Support, Garage Sale, Handicrafts, Program Planning, Public Relations, and Publications.

Women and men of every nationality are very welcome; most events, however, are conducted in German and speaking the language is an advantage.
